The opposition is unbalanced

Babble on.

“The Liberals and the Bloc tell me: rebalance the mission. What does that mean? I mean, what the hell does that mean?”
- The Right Honourable Stephen Joseph Harper

Well said, sir. Removing the military from our Afghan mission wouldn't rebalance it, it would unbalance it.

Babble off.

Back. The. *$&!@. Off.

My new bumper sticker:



What? If you ran up and down the 401 into Toronto, aka The Heart of Automotive Stupidity, for over two hours each day, you'd want one too.

And the firepower to back it up, of course.

Which reminds me: anyone know how to mount a turret on a '97 Lumina?

Babble off.

Another step closer...

Babble on.

According to Lockheed Martin's PR firm here in Canada, the federal government has signed a Memorandum of Understanding to participate in the next phase of development for the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter. Details at The Torch.

I am the great and powerful Oz!

Babble on.

At the first blog-fest I attended, none of us knew what the others would look like. As we trickled in through the front doors of a bar that no longer exists, we'd nervously say "Are you a blogger?" and introduce ourselves by both blog-name and real-life name once kinship had been established. At one point, as a number of us stood around and introduced ourselves, some clever soul said "It's like watching a dozen Wizards of Oz having the curtains pulled back on them at once." Too true.

But fun nonetheless. So if you're in Toronto tonight, whether you blog or lurk, drop by our little gathering.

I'll even let you buy me a beer. No, really, I insist...

Babble off.

When change is good

Babble on.

The Department of National Defence has made some positive changes to eligibility requirements for the Memorial Cross. If you're like ninety percent of Canadians out there and have no idea what I'm talking about, go read up.

Babble off.

Where no frappucino has gone before

Babble on.

My only question is this: how long do you figure before they set up a Starbucks at this way-cool location?

Babble off.
